In this paper, we attempted a qualitative understanding of mutual injection locking without rigorous mathematics, and analyzed the proposed mutual injection locked light source. Also, a low-cost WDM-PON light source based on mutual injection locking using two unpolarized Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes (F-P LDs), was implemented. The RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) characteristic for the wavelength change of the F-P LD was measured, and when the variable wavelength range was 2.07 nm, it showed a RIN of at least -110 dB/Hz.

Photoinduced anisotropy (PIA) in amorphous As2S3 (a-As2S3 ) thin film, deposited by vacuum evaporation, is investigated. PIA is induced by linearly polarized Ar+ laser beam (λ=514.5nm) and probed by weak Ar+ laser (λ=514.5nm) and He-Ne laser (λ=632.8nm) beam through the crossed analyzer. Keeping pump beam intensity constantly, rotation of pump beam polarization direction induces reorientation phenomina of anisotropic axis. Introducing directional factor into simplified 3-level system, which is used to analyze photodarkening phenomina, an analytical expression of PIA is derived. Temporal behavior of PIAand its reorientation phenomina are investigated andcompared with theory. In the experiment pump beam intensity is 100mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and thickness of a-As2S3 thin film is 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In those condition, time constant of photoinduced anisotropy obtained by method of least square curve fitting is 4.0$\times$10-2sec-1. The time constant of PIA we obtained is larger than that of photodarkening, 2.8$\times$10-2sec-1.

The relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics in 405 nm blue laser diodes grown on wurtzite AlGaInN multiple quantum well structures were investigated using the rate equations with the quantum Langevin noise model. The device parameters were extracted from the optical gain properties of the MQW active region using the self-consistent numerical method developed for calculating the multiband Hamiltonian in the strained wurtzite crystal. These methods have been applied to laser diodes for various conditions including the external feedback and the high frequency current injection.

The conventional study on the laser surface transformation hardening has been carried out with a beam of the specified shape and uniform power-intensity distribution in order to ensure the uniformity of the hardening depth. Two types of beams - the circular gaussian beam and rectangular beam of the uniform power-intensity distribution were used in this study. we were supposed to optimize the process parameters and to compare the hardening results with two optics respectively. As a result, the hardness distribution of the hardened zone was similar in both cases and the hardened phase by the rectangular beam was denser than that by the circular gaussian beam.

We report an investigation of the statistical fluctuations of the two-mode laser output as the asymmetry parameter is varied. The above results relate to computer solutions of the coupled Langevin equations both with and without pumping fluctuations. We find that as the asymmetry parameter is changed positively, the mean intensity of one mode is increased because the normalized intensity auto-correlation is decreased so that the natural dwell time is lengthen. The laser output does respond to a sinusoidally injected asymmetry parameter for small pump parameter.

The fourth harmonic conversion(FHC) efficiency of high-power Nd laser pulse with wavelength of 1.054x10S0-6Tm using two KDP crystals(doubler adn quadrupler) was simulated numerically. Simulation results show that for the perfect phase-matching condition the FHC efficiency were 60-70% for several hundreds MW/cmS02T class and over 70% for GW/cmS02T class laser pulses. And the overall characteristics of FHC were discussed in terms of effects of input intensity, crystal length, and mismatch angle Δ$\theta$. Optimum method to FHC was type-II doubler & type-I quadrupler KDP crystal because type-II KDP doubler crystal has wide tolerance of acceptance matching-angle.

Planar laser induced fluorescence(PLIF) has been widely used to obtain two dimensional fuel distribution. Preliminary investigation was performed to measure quantitative air excess ratio distribution in an engine fueled with LPG. It is known that fluorescence signal from acetone as a fluorescent tracer is less sensitive to oxygen quenching than other dopants. Acetone was excited by KrF excimer laser (248nm) and its fluorescence image was acquired by ICCD camera with a cut-of filter to suppress Mie scattering from the laser light. For the purpose of quantifying PLIF signal, an image processing method including the correction of laser sheet beam profile was suggested. Raw images were divided by each intensity of laser energy and profile of laser sheet beam. Inhomogeneous fluorescence images scaled with the reference data, which was taken by a calibration process, were converted to air excess ratio distribution. This investigation showed instantaneous quantitative measurement of planar air excess ratio distribution for gaseous fuel.

Laser-welded Tailored Blank is the hottest thing in many automobile companies. But they demand on weld quality, reproducibility, and formability. So it is the great problem of automation of laser welding process. Therefore, it is requested to construct on-line process monitoring system on high accuracy. The light which is emitted from plasma and spatter in laser welding was detected by photo-diodes. It was found that the light intensity depends on welding speed. laser power, and flow rate of assist gas. The relationship between the plasma and spatter and the weld quality can be used for on-line laser weld monitoring systems.

The dynamics of laser-induced plasma/shock wave and the interaction with a surface in the laser shock cleaning process are analyzed by optical diagnostics. Shock wave is generated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in air or with N$_2$, Ar, and He injection into the focal spot. The shock speed is measured by monitoring the photoacoustic probe-beam deflection signal under different conditions. In addition, nanosecond time-resolved images of shock wave propagation and interaction with the substrate are obtained by the laser-flash shadowgraphy. The results reveal the effect of various operation parameters of the laser shock cleaning process on shock wave intensity, energy-conversion efficiency, and flow characteristics. Discussions are made on the cleaning mechanisms based on the experimental observations.

Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, we analyzed the change of effective focal volume of a confocal system with light intensity. The fluorescence correlation spectroscopy system was home-built in accordance with the He-Ne laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, and two kinds of samples (AlexaFluor657 and Quantum dot655) suitable for the wavelength of the laser beam were used. For each sample, we analyzed and compared the correlation functions obtained while changing the intensity of the light source in a range of 1~50 ${\mu}W$. The result shows that the radius of the focal area increases linearly through the increase of particle number and diffusion time in response to an intensity change in weak light below 10 ${\mu}W$. In the higher intensity region (>10~15 ${\mu}W$), the increasing rate of particle number and diffusion time keep increasing but at a much slower rate. Through this result, it was also found that the radius increasing rate of the focal area was reduced however, the radius still increased slightly.
